Korean Cheongju

연천 연주
Yeoncheon Brewing in Gyeonggi-do strips this 12% cheongju to its core — domestic rice, nuruk, and pure water — then lets patient fermentation do the shaping. The nose opens with polished white rice and a whisper of pear blossom, delicate enough that you might miss it if you rush past. On the palate, the body is medium-light and exceptionally clean, with a fine-grained texture that glides rather than coats. Midpalate, a gentle cereal sweetness appears, closer to the fragrance of freshly milled grain than to anything sugary, and the finish resolves into a dry, mineral-tinged exit that resets the palate with each sip. At 500ml and 12%, it is sized and strengthened for a focused pairing with grilled dorado or gwamegi, where the fish oils need a crisp, neutral partner. It also excels alongside steamed gyeran-jjim, where the egg custard's subtle richness meets the drink's lean clarity, and through a multi-course hanjeongsik where it stays out of the way of each dish's own flavors.

Korean Soju
Yeoncheon Uju
연천 우주
Yeoncheon Uju is a 22% ABV distilled soju from Gyeonggi-do, distinguished by the incorporation of locally grown Job's tears (yulmu) alongside Korean rice, nuruk, and yeast. Job's tears is a grain with deep roots in Korean traditional medicine and cuisine, valued for its mild nutty flavor and healthful associations. Adding it to the soju base creates a subtle but meaningful flavor distinction — a grainy, almost savory quality that sets this apart from standard rice-only soju. The nose opens with clean rice grain, a gentle nutty warmth from the yulmu, and a faint, pleasant earthiness. On the palate, the body is light-medium with a smooth, flowing texture. The 22% ABV makes it gentle and easy-drinking, ideal for long meals where you want steady, comfortable sipping. The yulmu contribution appears as a quiet savory undertone in the mid-palate, adding depth without heaviness. The finish is clean, moderate, and carries a subtle grain warmth. The specific use of Yeoncheon-grown yulmu anchors this soju to its place of origin with genuine regional identity. Bottled at 360ml. Serve slightly chilled at 10-14°C with bossam where the spirit's subtlety matches tender pork, sashimi, or alongside Korean stews for a harmonious grain-meets-grain pairing.
